What else could have been done?
The top street cars in NE Ohio when I was A kid were all solid no excuses low 11 second cars.
And all of them were modified - even the Hemi’ cars.
What did the owner of this car do to close the gap to win consistently on the streets of Detroit then?

I suspect the owner did what I did back in the day,
I carefully picked my battles back in my home town.
My Camaro was not any where near an 10 - 11 - 12 second car, as I was just a 17 year old kid with a shallow pockets. Having said that, I managed to only get beat once. I watched the serious street guys run their cars in amazement and just tried to learn a thing or two.
As far as the Black Ghost, for me it is a huge boost for our hobby that will all do us well. When was the last time a great car movie, based on a real story, hit the screens? At the end of the day, it will probably draw more folks into the muscle car world which is just a good thing to see.
I'm just sitting back with my bag of popcorn and waiting for the unveiling.
